Party Panache, Southern Sausage & Cornbread Balls

Pop the champagne, college football kicks off this Saturday!!  🎉 🏈 🍾

We aren’t shy around here about our Tide Pride

HHjr saw this when he was working in Tuscaloosa this week, now that’s creative!

When it’s football watching time, you’ve got to start thinking game day food!

How does a maple sausage, cornbread ball with corn kernels, green onions & cheddar sound?

😋

And guess what, they are super simple to make!

“They come together in a “Jiffy”  🤣

Mix everything together in a large mixing bowl with your hands

Roll into balls

I used a small scooper* then smoothed them out by rolling in my palms

*if you don’t have a small scooper, they are so handy for cookies and other bite sized recipes and come in different sizes, you can get them from Amazon here

Make them early in the day, refrigerate and bake when you’re ready

Time to bake

Time to enjoy!

These would make a great Thanksgiving appetizer too

make ahead and freeze!

    Ooh this looks so good. I could eat one of those with my cup of coffee this morning. Yes I am ready for football to kick off! Excited. Go GEORGIA Bulldogs. Hugs and blessings, Cindy

  3. This sounds like a great appetizer. I wonder if they would be good with hotter spicy Italian bulk sausage…

    Sausage Balls look amazing and definitely on the “make soon list”. Shared on Pinterest.

    I think these would be yummy, but would try with Italian sausage as I don’t care for the maple sausage. (Great minds think alike, marmaladegypsy and I were thinking the same thing, ha) I would like one right now! Lol thanks Jenna, pinning!
